Thoughts on Ashtabula?

[Brian Dudash]

I grew up and am originally from the area (Lake County, specifically) so I know the region pretty well, however, Ashtabula is not a place I know much about. I'm possibly looking into buying some rentals there.

Does anyone currently have anything there and if so, how has it been working out for you? The only main concern is the future outlook because that city is kind of "out there" and not by too much :) I'm a little worried about it being hard to find decent renters or buyers 10 or 15 years down the road...obviously the city isn't going to disappear but I'm curious to see what others think (or have in that area).
